Kellyanne
Conway “does not see the point” of the women’s marches. She says that women should write a
letter and request a dialogue. So,
let’s get over three million letters written to Donald Trump 1600
Pennsylvania Ave., Washington DC
20500. doing just that.

The White House has officially
shut down the citizen phone comment line, instead directing Americans to a
non-existent Facebook messenger account. Another signal this
administration doesn't care about citizenry opinion and openly lies. I
suggest we all write a letter. Imagine 25,000 or more snail mail letters
arriving at their door about such actions? Please note: I think sharing
for the group is turned off. Please feel free to copy entirely. http://variety.com/2017/digital/news/white-house-switchboard-facebook-messenger-1201967138/

Call Senator Lamar
Alexander's office to complain about his decision NOT to give more time
for a second round off questions on Betsy Devos. One of our did and a REAL
PERSON took the call. She did have to wait on hold for a couple of
minutes, but the office assistant was kind, gracious and thanked her for
reaching out. She told her that she’d never done this before, and she
laughed lightly, a kind laugh. Call today. 202-224-4944. Remember, the Secretary of Education
position affects all our children!

Trump has just named
Ajit Pai as FCC chairman. Pai has a history of siding against net
neutrality. Tell the FCC and your senators that you are in support of net
neutrality- visit this page for phone numbers and sample scripts:

President Trump will
address Congress on February 28. RISE Stronger urges citizens and
organizations around this country to engage in actions and rallies leading
up February 28. We created this event page so we can coordinate and share.

An
ACLU delegation
is in Standing Rock today, facilitating meetings between U.N. officials
and members of the International Indian Treaty Council.
“Trump’s decision to give the go-ahead for the Dakota Access Pipeline is a
slap in the face to Native Americans and a blatant disregard for the
rights to their land. By law, they are entitled to water rights and
deserve to be treated with dignity and respect, not sacrificed for
political expediency and profit making. The Trump administration should
allow careful environmental impact analysis to be completed with full and
meaningful participation of affected tribes.” More information about the
ACLU’s work at Standing Rock is available here:https://www.aclu.org/feature/stand-standing-rock

If
you are on Twitter, the League of Conservation Voters asks that you tweet
this message: .@RealDonaldTrump
@POTUS: You want to give power to the people? Here we are -- and we say
#NoKXL and #NODAPL! via @LCVoters

Trump has promised a Supreme
Court nominee within two weeks, for the stolen Supreme Court seat, from a group hand-picked by
conservative extremists. He’s set to select someone who will turn back the
clock to the 19th century. #WeSayNo to a lifetime appointment of an
anti-choice, anti-LGBT equality, anti-gun control, anti-racial justice,
pro-corporate power reactionary. We’re telling our senators that if they
don’t oppose dangerous nominees, we will hold them accountable at the
ballot box. Tell your senators

31% of
the federal workforce is made up of veterans. Trump's hiring and pay freeze hits
veterans harder than almost any other group. Trump's order also hurts
unemployed veterans who would have had a great shot at getting new Federal
jobs, thanks to President Obama's Veterans Employment Initiative. This
does not help veterans, as Trump promised he would. Sign this by VoteVets.org asking the
new president to reverse his federal hiring and pay freeze or outline his
new plan to help veterans: http://action.votevets.org/page/s/federal-employees

Susan, thank you so much for this! It was shared with me on Facebook :-) I'm definitely subscribing. I am a project manager and business consultant by trade in the Richmond, VA area, and my partner (fiancé) is a web developer. If you ever have any issues or want to add any customizations or improvements to your process, please don't hesitate to reach out!

Thank you so much for helping us all find a way to work toward a better future! I'm wondering whether there is a way to pass along an urgent petition (scheduled for action TODAY). Our daughter-in-law is a Washington DC psychiatrist working with refugees and victims of PTSD. She shared the post below on her FB page this afternoon, and time is of the essence. Thanks for any help! Mary

From my daughter-in-law: The White House is expected to order a temporary ban on refugee resettlement TODAY. This affects those children who are subjected (by no fault of their own) to wars and armed conflict, as well as hard working, intelligent families, who have much to offer this country. Please sign this petition TODAY, as 100 signatures are needed for a white house I have been honored to work intimately with the struggles and accomplishments of immigrant, refugees, and survivors of torture both in the US and abroad for the past 10 years. Today as I saw a pro-bono case of a non-political physician who was targeted and forced to flee overnight due to political violence. He is extremely skilled in one of the most difficult procedures in the world. He reminds me that "immigrant" "refugee" are just words. They are titles. He is a person - a kind, intelligent person: "I just wanted to study. I knew there was something more in the world to give,and I do not blame my environment - being poor in the rural area. I read. I studied. I worked hard and earned scholarships. All I want to do is save lives as a doctor. I do not care about the other things - I don't have time.' So many of the people I work with were skilled in their home country. They have a thoughtfulness, humility, and concern for the well-being of others that many of us in America do not have. I am honored to be able to bear witness to their lives and to be influenced by them - they make me a better person, and would make our country a better one.
